Favorite Current Spidey Book

[Matt Linton]

Which are your favorites? You can choose more than one.

Spider-Girl: Easily. It's the truest continuation of the Spider-Man story "off the record", and the characters do the classic Spidey concept proud.

Ultimate Spider-Man: Modern mythology building with a more straight-laced, youthful, energetic, risky, but occasionaly air-headed Peter. Has some great rite of passage stories and humour at a slow and remakrably refreshing pace.

I agree with this on both accounts as these are also my favorite Spidey titles. :biggrin:

I voted for Amazing Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man, with an edge for consistency to Ultimate.

I third that! USM is overall my favrioute comic book series right now and Spider-Girl is also one of my favrioutes.

[Rahul]

Ultimate Spider-Man is the best!

[Darkhalen]

Spider-Girl

I hate the Ult. Universe, i can see why people like it, it's just not for me...although i found there clone saga to be much more enjoyable then the regular one.

[Jim Thompson]

It's Spider-girl for me. It's consistently the one of the most dependable, enjoyable books Marvel is putting out.

USM is also very good.

[rocky123]

I went with USM. I think it's really well done and they are doing a great job bringing the story into today's world while staying pretty true to the character that was created over 40 years ago. Great job

[Mister Mets]

Amazing Spider-Man

UItimate Spider-Man's decent, but not as strong as it was during Bagley's last year (though the Shocker one-shot was excellent.)

Spider-Man Family is very mixed.

I dropped Spider-Girl years ago, and don't follow Marvel Adventures Spider-Man.

[MaxofSteel]

Ultimate Spidey all the way. Although I may consider giving Spider-Girl a try judging from all the praise I hear of it.

I would agree with both of these.

[Valjean999]

Why isnt New Avengers listed as an option?

[RazorBats79]

I went with Ultimate Spider-Man. The best Spidey book out there by far!
Its the only Spidey book that I can re-read issues 1-122 and not feel that any issues were, well, crap!
Amazing can sit for now, I feel nothing for it and cant stand the new villains and the rest of it. I am gonna pick it up again when Romita Jr returns though!

[RazorBats79]

Why isnt New Avengers listed as an option?

Good point.

[Jim Thompson]

Why isnt New Avengers listed as an option?I didn't even think about that -- but then again, it really doesn't feel like a "Spider" book.

[Matt Linton]

New Avengers isn't listed because it isn't really a "Spider-Man" book, any more than Marvel Adventures Avengers is one. And besides, there IS an option for "Other".

[ZT4]

New Avengers doesnt even feel like an Avengers comic...it's Bendis putting the personality of Ultimate Spidey in every single member...

...Maybe it DOES count after all...:cool:

...Maybe it DOES count after all...:cool:Now for those making the youth argument -- Bendis' characters all feel young -- like they're all 12! :biggrin:

[ZT4]

I think Bendis' biggest claim to fame in 616 was finally making Jessica a lovable and relatable character (similar to what DeFalco was doing with her in the MC2 "Gerry Drew" arc)...then he made her a you-know-what...

While I like the ultimate spiderman I feel that somewhat it had lost a lil steam but the last 2 issues have been tremendous. The one shot issues with omega red and the shocker have been awesome and 2 of my favorite ultimate spiderman issues.

Amazing spiderman is the main spidey book and I like brand new day. The book is enjoyable, it comes out 3 times a month, the arcs are short

I'd say his biggest claim to fame in 616 is making the Avengers the center of the Marvel Universe, taking the mantle from the X-Men.

[John Asperger]

...I voted for Family , the only title I'm ordering now , tho liking what I've read and the forthcoming " Two Spiders " story have me thinking I'll resume ASM after all .

[Jim Thompson]

I'd say his biggest claim to fame in 616 is making the Avengers the center of the Marvel Universe, taking the mantle from the X-Men.Didn't Busiek manage to do that, too?

[ReggieWhiteJr]

Believe it or not, my fav Spidey book is Marvel Adventures Spider-Man. I get a big kick out of the single issue stories that are almost extinct in most comics. Amazing Spider-Girl is also pretty solid right now. I still like Ultimate Spider-Man but MASM and ASG are better books right now IMO.

[Matt Linton]

Didn't Busiek manage to do that, too?


Busiek made the book really good, but it wasn't really a book that major events in the Marvel universe revolved around.

[Joe Acro]

As I see it, Amazing Spider-Girl is one of the most consistently good things Marvel publishes. Rarely great, but wonderful in its own right.

Ultimate Spider-Man is usually great, though it's almost forced me to leave about twice or so now. It seems to be on a roll at the moment. Hoepfully the tie-in to the video game won't muck things up.

I did manage to read this week's Marvel Adventures Spider-Man issue. That was quite good, too. I imagine I'd like it if I read it consistently.

[Mister Mets]

Busiek made the book really good, but it wasn't really a book that major events in the Marvel universe revolved around.
Busiek/ Perez Avengers also wasn't consistently outselling Uncanny X-Men.

[Venom]

Currently my favourite titles are Amazing Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Girl and Kick-Ass.

[AbdulAziz]

M.A.S & A.S.G
U.S.M isn't that great currently, especially that Mr. Bagley left the Marvel Building.
A.S.M: Has it's ups and downs

I too agree with this statement. True on all levels.

[Noronha]

USM no doubt here

[Don't pee in the (Dead)pool]

USM no doubt here

Seconded! I'm also re-reading Peter David's awesome Spider-Man 2099 issues at the moment, I wish they'd resurrect Miggy O'Hara...:cool:

[LEADER DESSLOK]

This might be cheating but ESSENTIAL SPIDER-MAN.

I actually own most of the Spidey stories from AMZSPIDEY 1-206 and miscellaneous issues of his other books. Essential Spidey is a good quick fix instead of opening the originals and carefully reading them. And No! They are not for sale!

Runner Up: Spider Girl. It's actually good dumb fun and Petey and I still have our MJ!

[Matt Linton]

He showed up in the last year or so of Claremont's run on Exiles.

[Don't pee in the (Dead)pool]

Sorry, I meant that I wouldn't mind seeing him back in an ongoing written by Peter David. I'm all nostalgic, I guess.:smile:

[becominAfanAgain]

Really what issues is that so I can pick it up. O'hara is the Sh*!

[a-spidey]

my favorite spidey book at the moment is Amazing Spider-Man .
Second is Ultimate Spider-man
